what are you looking for ? The door fender and rear fender are all one piece with the door and car, except the front fender which is seperate.

Or maybe im not understanding what you're looking for..

Stone/rock guards - https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/appe...tection-32850/

They are held on with double-faced tape, so use dental floss to remove, and maybe with a bit of assistance from a hair dryer.

If you remove them, and do not have the step-able rocker panels as in the photo above, be aware that the lower front of the doors paint will take a beating from rock chips.

Those are a film after 2006 or 2007.

I think it's called a stone or rock guard.

Whopper. Don't use the term "step-able rocker panels as in the photo above".

There's nothing step-able about those on a SS.

LOL - forgot that the SS's only have those "for show, not for go" boards.

The boards on my LS's and LT are are only for show too whopper, they fall under Rule #3 of riding in my HHR's.

Rule #1...Food and Drink Prohibited.

Rule #2...Light That Cigarette and You'll Be Walking.

Rule #3...Keep Your Feet Off the Running Boards.

Rule #4...Seatbelts Will Be Worn At All Times.

Rule #5...Before You Touch the Radio/HVAC Controls, Think About Life With Broken Fingers.

It goes on, and our son has even admonished his "Gamma" to "Keep fingers off Daddy's Tuck!".

What can I say, Dusty has his own microfiber rag which he uses to polish his toy cars.

Hey. Am I the only one to notice this thread is wrongly placed in the "How To" section ?

(I'm beginning to think you Mods are way over paid. )
